BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov. 12—
One of the six dissidents on trial in Belgrade told the court today that a security officer ''in charge of intellectuals'' threatened to kill him earlier this year.

The defendant, Miodrag Milic, said he was called to the office of the security service, where a security officer, Ranko Savic, warned him not to raise sensitive questions again, as he had in a lecture at the Belgrade student center.

Mr. Milic said he was told that security forces had killed a historian, a party official who criticized the Government and a lawyer, Jovan Barovic, who once defended Milovan Djilas, another dissident.

Mr. Barovic's son Nikola, who is one of the defense lawyers, demanded that the reference to his father be entered into the court minutes.
